fancy coffee. Get my blue bottle though, My what blue bottle? Coffee?
Blue bottle? Blue bobble?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Is that a valley thing? A couple of them around? Okay,
it's expensive coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Have you ever had it? I have? Is it better? Still?
Paying off the payments for that call?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
How about that little payment plan?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
The air you want of coffee's? Blue bottle? All right, Well,
David Vasse not on today, but we have Ryan Spilborg's
in the very next segment. Spilly also, he is seemingly
seemed a lot of baseball talk from him MLB and
(03:46):
the serious ex MMLB and the Apple TV Friday Night
Game of the Week. So he will join us and
we'll get a little bit of a national perspective on him.
And I got to be honest, Matt, A lot of
people I don't think the Dodgers match up that well
against the Phillies. And I heard something like that being
said here on the Pettersen Money Show when the playoff
(04:09):
seating was being discussed earlier last month.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
There was the idea that if the Dodgers slipped out
of the NL West Division Crown Race, that maybe a
path through Chicago and Milwaukee would be somewhat easier, might
lend to a better matchup than the Phillies in a
short series as opposed to a full seven gamer see
(04:35):
the Phillies and the seven gamer instead of the five
gamer was kind of the thought there. But you know,
that was before we saw how well the Dodgers were playing.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, and that was before we saw Roki Sasaki out
there exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You know, now everything's changed.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Everything has changed for the better. Brin Hill on anytime
until we see something different. Well that is the Rick
Monday attitude. You know that you're going to have to
play them eventually, probably, so I not just play them
right now and prove yourself on the field of battle,
right can you prove yourself on the field of battle?
(05:10):
And that that is the question that we will find out.
While we make a lot of money in playoff revenue
on LA Sports, your home of.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
The Dodgers, we make a lot, but we spend a
lot on Sweet Life food too. I was dumbfounded, just
like one thousand dollars for chicken wings, just blown away
by how much that food costs. Yeah, they really the
corporate menu is different than the individual you know, and
(05:45):
when when they're asking for corporate donations, you know, get.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
The idea why the Dodgers and every other franchise and
college sports team, I mean, you get the idea why
they knock down the Boise State seating capacity two thousand
seats to add more suites because it feels like, you know,
getting somebody to pay fifty bucks for a seat and
(06:09):
buy one hot dog is a lot different than being
able to charge people one thousand dollars for some a
plate of wings that you could get at September's for
you know, twenty bucks.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It's something. It's the uh. It's the equivalent of buying
a ticket to a charity fundraiser versus buying a table. Hey,
the company bought a table. Well it was the table
that's five grand. How much was the individual ticket twenty
five bucks. It's just for whatever reason, you're going to
the same place, you're eating the same stuff. But the
(06:41):
second the corporation is attached, it changes the calculus considerably.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, Matt, with all this play by play going on,
we like to deliver great sports talk to the people.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Sometimes sports talk a little.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Bit of counter programming. And like I said for the
four hour show, I am ready with a film noir
corners film noir. They'll be too sure.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I'm gonna be as I'm supposed to me. I thought
a reputation might be good business. Is that again?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Petrols Some saying that this is the greatest movie based
in Seattle ever singles. This is not singles, but that
is a good Seattle movie. Scorchy from nineteen seventy six
(07:28):
is it a good movie.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
No, so it's not the best movie.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Well that people, the Seattle people have said that just
because of the scenery around Seattle and the nostalgia that
nineteen seventies Seattle brings to the people of Seattle or
the Sea Tack area, if that makes sense. Okay, And
we got the Mariners with their own world series hopes
thinking about a matchup with the Dodgers after it's all
(07:54):
said and done.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
A West Coast World Series would be sweet.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Great chases in this around the Monorail Mount, Lake Bridge,
Sea Tac Airport, the Kingdome, Scorchy stars Connie Stevens. That's
her singing as a secret undercover DEA agent. She has
(08:22):
her boobs out most of the time in the movie.
She's very promiscuous. In fact, in this film she's mid
copulating with a guy. Like I was in the middle
of my USC story and I was yanked out of
it to talk to Dalton Russian. She's copulating with a
(08:44):
guy while he shot with a spear gun and the
small of his back. Oh, I believe Mark. This was
supposed to be a comeback movie for Connie. It wasn't,
but the scene fans of Seattle in the seventies have
(09:05):
kept this movie a cult classic for many years. It
is also a great display of violence and death. Scorchy
newly available on Amazon and lots of boob now here's Scorchy.
She's very irreverent talking to her her superior at the
(09:26):
police office.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I can trace this stuff to the last connection. It's
taking me two years to get it this far. Come on, Frank,
another two weeks? Is you going to kill us? Is it?
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Come on, Jackie? You've been having the ball of your
life the last two years, back and forth of Europe,
flying Philip and his.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Wife, the jet set screwing.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
You know, Jackie, sometimes I'm not too damn sure that
you remember.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Your a cop?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
She farts.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What I was gonna say?
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Oh I care?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Is I a heroine? You got it?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Get your ass off my desk here, go on, get
some sleep. You look like you know something.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
You're one of the last of the good guys, Frank,
but you need him.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Wow a good.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
You get out of here.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Cheap. You're a fruitcake? You Okay, that is the kind
of dialogue that I show up. I mean right, that
is not what I was anticipating.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Don't forget that you're a cop. And then she farts
on him, and then she calls her a fruitcake bitch
on the way.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
App that was a good fart too. It wasn't like
a step, you know. They kind of gave you a
little muffled. There's some clothes over that thing.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
She's on the desk. He's sitting on the deck right,
gets your ass off my desk. Very apropos for today.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Mid copulation Spear of the Back, farting on the desk
Scorchy nineteen seventy six staring Connie Stevens.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
And if you want to see what a boobs look like,
they are out the nineteen ninety one action movie. For
our second film that had it all, Matt except for success. McBain,
Oh do you remember McBain Not the Simpsons.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
No, I remember McBain, Chris Walkin absolutely, Maria Conchita Alonso,
the black Swoll guy from American Ninja.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
This film has many of the action film tropes that
we all learned. This is a song from the movie,
which is odd. This film has all of the stuff
that we really became accustomed to in the eighties and nineties.
A Vietnam tiger cage pow Mia thing top gun Death
(11:57):
from Above vibes South American revolution against a castro like
comedy figure in Colombia. It's a very intense ride unless
you're from our generation, and then you're very much used
to it and ready for it all.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I feel like it was a cable staple for about
five years. You could find McBain on either Cinemax or
the Movie Channel, one of those two.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
At the beginning of the movie, Christopher Walkin is in
a tiger cage in or like a thunderdome in Vietnam,
and this special group of Vietnam soldiers free him and
some guys and they make a pact and he goes
back to his life as a steel worker in Pittsburgh.
(12:48):
And then one of those guys gets killed trying to
create a revolution in Colombia, and that brings back this
crew of now vigilantes ex Vietnam soldiers, and they try
to overthrow a regime in Colombia with help from Maria
(13:09):
Concito Alonzo. Chris Walkin is McBain. I usually avoid the trailers,
but this trailer is so badass and so reminiscent of
what we used to love and watch when it came
to film, ladies and gentlemen, I present you the trailer
for nineteen ninety one's McBain.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Friendship, Loyalty, Honor Finch, mcbab, mcbab A Time for Heroes.
(14:23):
Christopher Walken, Maria Conchitita Alonso, mcbaby.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Come Yeah, it's like montage versus dialogue, Like, hey, we
don't need any dialogue. It's straight montage voiceover action sequence.
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I would watch that on the plane if I was
the Dodgers headed out to Philly to pump me up.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
McBain.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, it's a good one. We'll be back with more.
Petro Send Money. Ryan's Bill Bargs will join us with

Joining us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline.
(16:56):
It is Ryan Spilboirs also known as Spilly Spilly on
the Petros and Money Show. What's Greging?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Ryan?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
How?
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Every time I get on your program? I have a
bunch of friends that live in in La County that
either went to high school or college at UCSP that
always give me a shout out. So I appreciate coming
on three times a year and high up my buddies
in SOCOU.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
We can work something out, Spilly. I mean, if you
want to work it out, you have more five times. Yeah,
I get the UCSB you know, extension to sponsor it
and really get going here. But were you? A lot
of these wild card matchups are a struggle, but the
Dodgers seem to have their way with the Cincinnati Reds.
(17:41):
Is that just more to do with the matchup or
more to do with the Dodgers flipping a switch for
the postseason.
Speaker 8 (17:48):
I think it's a couple of things. So there's been
a lot more parody in baseball last couple of years.
This wild card you know, format is actually pretty sweet.
I love it about it. I think, you know, when
he saw the very first year you had teams that
were on the buy and they all got knocked out.
(18:08):
Everybody was like, oh my god, it's it's it's off.
You know, you lose momentum for a baseball season. I'm like,
save it, guys, Like, just get it was the first year,
and what we see now, this is the year four
of the format. Two out of three World Series winners
have had the buy. So the buy actually benefits the
teams that can reload and put themselves in a position
(18:30):
to win. Now. Do I believe in momentum one hundred percent.
I do, But I also believe in in strength the
bullpen and making sure you have a fully loaded team.
So what I've seen from the Dodgers in the last
three weeks, I mean, you're starting to get full health.
You know, see Max Muntsey key k back. I love
the story of Mookie Bets. Like in August, after watching Mookie,
(18:52):
you know, just seeing the numbers, I was like, this
is the first time in his career that MOOKI wasn't
going to be an eight hundred ops player. And I suggested,
you know, like when he was a sub seven hundred ops.
I was like, man, he's playing such a great defense
at short. We know the guy lost fifteen pounds before
the start of the season, didn't go on the IL,
and then played this year, and of course I think
(19:14):
physically that had some impact on him. And I just
suggest I was like, you need to figure out ways
to load up the lineup so you can get Moro
Tani with guys on base. And I was like, dude,
you should just move Mooki down to the ninth spot
for a little bit to give him a breather and
you know, let him catch up, give him a little space.
And the Dodgers clearly they didn't do that, and I
(19:36):
heard the story about how Mooky and.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Dave they did.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
They were like, hey, stop worrying about trying to catch
your numbers for this year. Just go out and have fun.
And I think what we've seen from Muki basically since
like mid August to today is Looky's having fun, Mooky's
swings locked in. And I think that all benefits to
how the Dodgers are playing it because when you have
show Hey, Mooki and Freddy with the Cassie characters, because
(20:01):
the bottom of the lineup for a while was really bad.
The Dodgers are in a great spot right now with
health playing well, some momentum to kind of go on
a nice little run.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Right here, Spilly. We were talking about this a little
bit earlier, and it's probably fan stuff, but watching Roki
Sasaki last night was just such an exhale trying to
figure out the Phillies are good. If it's the Brewers
or the Cubs or the Padres, they're good. The World Series,
someone will be good, Like who the hell is going
(20:33):
to get the last three outs? And just not only
getting the last three outs, but the manner in which
he got them. It just felt like a huge exhale, like, Okay,
you can figure out the rest of it, but if
that's what it's going to look like, man, do you
feel a lot better about this team than you did
prior to seeing that? Is that prisoner of the moment
or is there possibly something to that.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
I'm gonna say prisoner of the moment, just because I
think he got a couple of things here. The game,
the magnitude, it was at Dodger Stadium, it was up,
you know, a couple of runs there. It's great to
see it and there's no question that like seeing his
stuff the way that it was working. You know, we
talked about this today on radio. You know, it's a
(21:19):
thirteen mile an hour separator between his fastball and the
split finger, and the split finger has one of the
lowes spin rates in baseball. It's basically a knuckleball. It's
an eighty eight mile hour knuckleball, thirteen miles an hour.
To give you guys like perspective on how much distance
a hitter can cover. The average swing is like seven
point two feet. So when you're talking about thirteen miles
(21:40):
an hour, that's about ten to twelve feet of separation
between the fastball and the splitt and that just means
zero marchin prayer. As a hitter, you have to guess
that's swinging miss stuff. That's lights out stuff, that's like,
you know, good morning, good afternoon, good night, like see
you later. But here's here's why I say it's prisoner moment.
(22:01):
You saw him doing one specific the variables were favorable.
You know, this is in a hostile environment. This isn't
seen you know, the Phillies second time through in the
series with you know, back to backs. I don't know
that Roki can do that. I don't know with some
of the starters that are in the bullpen how that's
gonna work. And I'll ask you you guys this. You
(22:23):
look at the Dodger's bullpen. How many pictures are in
the trust tree? How many pictures when they come out
out of the pen that you're like, hell, yeah, like
that's it out? Count them up? There's eight guys? Robert like, yes,
because you need six. You need six in the postseason
to feel confident that you're going to get out.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
So I guess to try to play the prisoner of
the moment thing. How big of an issue is it?
Do do you feel like they have one? If the
stuff is that good? Or like are we feeling good
about trying after getting that out in a high leverage
situation like because it doesn't seem like if they don't
have it, it's sustainable, not against the lineup of Philadelphia.
(23:06):
So how big of an issue is it? And how
close do you think they might be to getting that
thing figured out?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
If at all?
Speaker 8 (23:14):
I think the problem that you have is that it's
it's still there's still a lot of question marks there.
There's a lot of flags that I mean like do
I trust that's he the most? Probably? I mean, you know,
going down the stretch with Tanner Scott, and you know,
I've covered the Dodgers for so many years and really
we saw them down the stretch with with the Rockies
(23:35):
coming to call, coming to town, Like the regular season
has no impact on what's going to happen in the postseason.
You get hot, you get hot, like it doesn't matter.
But the problem that you have is that you still
have question marks. You know, Dave's not fully sure what
he has, Like are you really going to throw Rookie
Sasaki in the in the bottom of the ninth inning?
(23:58):
You know, fishing Schwarb and Harper, Like, are you really
going to throw them there? Or are you going to
throw Tanner Scott? Are you through alex Vesia? Do you
feel confident with Blake Trenton? Like, like, is emit shean
gonna be a bridge reliever for you? Are you really
gonna use Tyler Glass now out of the bullpen? Or
are you going to keep them back to a starter
(24:19):
now that you're back to a five game series. Like
there's a bunch of questions that I honestly don't have
answers to and I guarantee you if we have Dave
or if we ask Andrew Friedman or Brandeck Gomes, like, Hey,
who do you feel like is aside relievers that use
multiplays in leverage situations, I don't think they're gonna have
a solid interting. I think you might even get multiple answers.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Very interesting stuff from Spilly and a lot of questions,
more questions and answers when it comes to the postseason.
There's no doubt about that. But what is it that
makes the Phillies so formidable Because there's been a lot
of Dodger people that that were what we're trying to
or hinting toward avoiding this matchup?
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Why I feel like they're a little bit of the
team of destiny. Uh this year if they know that
there's any sort of outside of you know, Shore is
a free agent after this year, yoursz is a is
a free agent after this heat.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
You know this team kind of few, you know, in
a way the last dance, last hurrah with this with
this roster guaranteed as it is, and you know you
have players that are feeling that you know, they they
haven't gone to the World Series, They've got you know,
they went a couple of years ago, they've gone backwards.
You know, they've gotten knocked out earlier and earlier in
(25:45):
rounds in the last couple of years, even though the
record overall win record during the regular season has gotten better.
And this would be a huge, huge dragon to sleigh
if the Phillies can knock out the Dodgers. And and
I'm with like, if I'm a Dodgers fan, this is
not the matchup I want. Uh I rather I rather
matchup against the Padres. I rather I rather beat on
them some more. The Phillies just feel as though, you know,
(26:09):
especially with a little bit of an advantage at the gate,
because I don't know what you're gonna get from Otani
or Tony could throw six perfect innings or any can
get knocked out in the third inning and then he
get all the question marks. I just I just feel
like Phillies understand that, you know, they there's just kind
of it for them. You know, the Dodgers got the
World Series last year. Not saying that they're less motivated
(26:31):
by it, but there's a motivation, you know when you're
when you're the guy that's been knocked out to go
out and finally knock out that guy that you're trying
to beat. So I just feel like the Phillies are
right there with maybe a greater sense of urgency, just
because they haven't been able to complete the task in
the last five years.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Last one Spilly you mentioned it there, you said Otani
could go out throw six perfect as someone you know
who played, who's been around great players, percentage of you
that thinks the possibility that we might see the greatest
performance by an athlete in the history of professional sports.
If in fact that's what he does. If he's going
to bang a couple home runs every series and pitch
(27:14):
you know, to wins either once or twice per series,
I would assume that's where this thing's gonna get filed,
that this is the great and they win the World
Series right in likelihood that that's going to happen in
an excitement level, that that's a possibility while we're alive
to see it.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
I don't think Otani has to do anything. This postseason
has changed my mind that he's the greatest player I've
ever seen. I think he's the greatest player in the
history of the game. I don't think there's any really
retort to it. I mean, there's we're talking about. He
leads a leader board in all these offensive categories. He
was the first, you know, MVP that was a DH.
(27:50):
It's like, it's like everything that he does is elite.
He's an elite starter. He started in game one, so
it's not like he's a one trick Tony. Don't need
him to throw six perfect innings and hit two homers
to say that's that's the greatest player I've ever seen.
He could strike out five times and get knocked out
in the first and I'll still tell you you are
never gonna see an Otani. There's never gonna be another
(28:12):
one like it. And I know we try to discredit it,
and we you know that. You know a lot of
people from outside, you know, they talk about Ruth and
Maris and Mays and all the greats in the game.
I'm not taking anything away from any of those guys.
Bonds is still the best atter I've ever seen, but overall,
best player, most dynamic. It's shohey Otani, And I don't
(28:34):
think he has anything to prove to anybody how great
he is.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Well, neither does Spilly nothing to prove. You can hear
him do his tough on the MLB Network Radio of course,
exam and the Apple TV Friday Night Game of the Week.
There's nobody quite like him. In a shout out to
all his boys from Doubt show Country, we appreciate you, Spilly,
(29:02):
and thanks for doing it. Enjoy the rest of the
postseason and we'll see what happens. More questions and answers.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
Hollow boys love talking to you.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yeah, all right, I ain't no hollerback girl. We're hollowback boys.
I guess right, Hey, I suppose so.

we getting ready for the Saturday contest. Dodgers Phillies Game
one of the NLDS show, Hal Tani will be the starter.
And remember, even though there is not a game, you
still get scam every morning six to nine AM as
long as the Dodgers are alive in the playoffs, So
(30:16):
tune in, Tim Kits Steve Sack says, the Dodgers try
to march their way to the first repeat championship in
the World Series in a quarter century. And it starts
Saturday in the divisional round from Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
And we're still reeling from David Vasse being blown like
the shower and Club Paradise, which is a very obscure
reference but still a very meaningful to many very important
on our show, Dave was blown away. Yeah, Dave, you
(30:55):
want an exclusive? And that is the screaming, unhinged voice
of Blake Trinan, Yeah saying yeah, Dave, you want an exclusive.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
And you wonder why we regularly point out that our
intrepid Dodger reporter David Vesse is the best in the
damn business.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Now, what happened when they clenched the division Clayton Kershaw said,
I barely want pants, Dave.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, he threw his shirt on top of it. They
took his shirt off and threw it at Dave's face,
planted on his head and now driving with the fire
hose of champagne while screaming at him and cackling maniacally.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
To the embedded reporter that covers the team for A
M five to seven e l A Sports and Spectrum Sports, he.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Sounds like the guy Miani and the water boy. It
was like the train's coming through, true, true, and then
the water boys like you just sound like a big
tutu train.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Put him in a body bag, Johnny.
Speaker 10 (32:23):
Yeah, let me walk in like a rooster. Oh that also,
I am stylin seven innings, nine strikeouts, winning Game one.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
Whoa, that's right, snail zilla baby.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I mean, we're dating ourselves with all these references. But
remember that remember that commercial where the guy pulls up
to pick up the other guy for the game, and
the dude like has like a rainbow like painted and
the giant fro and like just dressed up like a
crazy fan doing and he likes like doing a weird
walking dance to the car and the car just takes off.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's like the five Dave had walking in just when
he when he saw a rooster. When he saw it,
he was like, I didn't think it would look like that.
It's like, yeah, that's what it looks like.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
David walk in like a rooster.
Speaker 10 (33:22):
I am styling seven innings, nine strikeouts winning Game one.
Speaker 11 (33:27):
Whoa, that's right, hello el zilla baby exclusively.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I don't know what's gonna happen in Game two and blow.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Off, pulling right off, kicking off of it.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
I really can't. Oh my, thank god, it is time
for his secret Texto sol rodeo around us, secret text us.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Up fine, brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Wow. Dalton Rushing really had some stuff to say. Thank
god you got cut off in your USC analysis so
we could hear him reply with the most generic, middle
of the road answers, just like every other freaking baseball player.
Amazing way to go Kate's and that he does in parentheses,
long fart noise. Now, look, I don't feel that way.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
We're at We are at.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Dodger Stadium to talk to Dodger people. The Dodger people
are on the field. We asked for a catcher. Kate's
has had a real love affair, the real Boner from
Afar with rort Vet, and he couldn't get rot Vet
because they announced that he was catching in the game
and that worked out well obviously for Yamamoto and the Dodgers.
(34:58):
So instead we got Dalton Rushing, who's a young guy.
And you don't learn to do interviews with the Petrosen
Money Show by not doing interviews with the Petrosen Money Show.
So the first couple of times you come on, maybe
you use some platitudes. You're standing down there in front
of the whole media. We understand, and we were able
to get the USC story in as well. Right, So
(35:19):
what are we talking about here?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Who's hurt? Who gets hurt?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Nobody? Apparently that one text OsO guy.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
I can't imagine somebody sitting in the car waiting to
go in their house, like, god, gosh, darn it, finish
the FC story already.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Well, why you don't think people care? People ask me
about USC all the time.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
To go there, Kates. I didn't think it was necessary
to take a shot at the SE story. I've thought
more like he was like, oh cool, adult rushings on.
I can't wait different this Dodger catcher. Try for that
every time.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
I love the fact that they're carrying three of these playoffs.
Tim Kates on sports and at LA tonight, Damn Kates
is working overtime. Yes he is. There is a there's
a real concern that he is going to run out
of gas.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Here happened last year. He ran out of gas. I
would say, right around the NLCS.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
He looked like walking dead. But did we go right
into a weekend? And we didn't have a wild card
last year, so they didn't do the wild card. Remember
this is.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
More it was the Spectrum Sport because you did the
sports Net last year too. Kate's right, And I remember
it was like the second day of that and you
came in for our show and we were like, what
the hell, dude, and you just said, ah, I says
sports Net LA last night, and as he was up
at four and I was, I couldn't take a nap
when I got home, and yeah, it's it's look, Dodgers
(36:38):
keep winning. It's gonna be a real mess for Kates.
But he makes makes his money in a three week window,
you know, and if they're going to give him all
three weeks, let's go get that cash. Believe it.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Half the show better be about Dave getting a champagne
boot cocky. Yes, listen, we've done it. Okay, it just stop.
We went porn free.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
You gotta keep going.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
It's insane. It's it's he's a thirty seven year old.
It's not like it's you know.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
And Dame's fifty.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Right, it's a fifty year old.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
That's why we're the toy department here on Sports Talk Radio.
If there's a shooting, if there's something terrible that happens,
everybody else has got to cover that. We just play
the trying and sound the champagne back screaming at Dave. Yeah,
do you want an exclusive? Yeah, Johnny, get him a
(37:44):
body man. All right, it is time for the next segment.
We will move on and get to another hour or
two of great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (37:55):

Commanders will kick off at one twenty five pm on

What a game in the Bronx. When this thing is over,
(02:27):
we'll know for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
All right, fair enough, I mean, we just try to
get it all figured out.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
We love the schedule.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, well, the schedule is a very important thing. And
if we don't know the schedule, we.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Don't know where to be went.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
You know, Dave barked at me yesterday morning. He came
on with scam and I said, hey, Dave, I heard
about that. And Dave will be on with petrol some
money later, he'll be out of Dodger Stadium, will have
pre imposting you. Oh there you go again, Give it
my schedule. I'm like, Dave, I'm trying to like let
everybody know where we're gonna be. Yeah, promotion shit, Maybe
come on, you give my schedule. And I'm like, all right,
Dave's gonna go get a mile run in right now.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
No, he's not, You're body. He might walk, yeah, at
a brisk pace, but a run. He was getting a
fancy coffee. Get my blue bottle though, My what blue bottle? Coffee?
Blue bottle? Blue bobble?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Is that a valley thing? A couple of them around? Okay,
it's expensive coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Have you ever had it? I have? Is it better? Still?
Paying off the payments for that call?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
How about that little payment plan?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
The air you want of coffee's? Blue bottle? All right, Well,
David Vasse not on today, but we have Ryan Spilborg's
in the very next segment. Spilly also, he is seemingly
seemed a lot of baseball talk from him MLB and
(03:46):
the serious ex MMLB and the Apple TV Friday Night
Game of the Week. So he will join us and
we'll get a little bit of a national perspective on him.
And I got to be honest, Matt, A lot of
people I don't think the Dodgers match up that well
against the Phillies. And I heard something like that being
said here on the Pettersen Money Show when the playoff
(04:09):
seating was being discussed earlier last month.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
There was the idea that if the Dodgers slipped out
of the NL West Division Crown Race, that maybe a
path through Chicago and Milwaukee would be somewhat easier, might
lend to a better matchup than the Phillies in a
short series as opposed to a full seven gamer see
(04:35):
the Phillies and the seven gamer instead of the five
gamer was kind of the thought there. But you know,
that was before we saw how well the Dodgers were playing.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, and that was before we saw Roki Sasaki out
there exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You know, now everything's changed.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Everything has changed for the better. Brin Hill on anytime
until we see something different. Well that is the Rick
Monday attitude. You know that you're going to have to
play them eventually, probably, so I not just play them
right now and prove yourself on the field of battle,
right can you prove yourself on the field of battle?
(05:10):
And that that is the question that we will find out.
While we make a lot of money in playoff revenue
on LA Sports, your home of.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
The Dodgers, we make a lot, but we spend a
lot on Sweet Life food too. I was dumbfounded, just
like one thousand dollars for chicken wings, just blown away
by how much that food costs. Yeah, they really the
corporate menu is different than the individual you know, and
(05:45):
when when they're asking for corporate donations, you know, get.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
The idea why the Dodgers and every other franchise and
college sports team, I mean, you get the idea why
they knock down the Boise State seating capacity two thousand
seats to add more suites because it feels like, you know,
getting somebody to pay fifty bucks for a seat and
(06:09):
buy one hot dog is a lot different than being
able to charge people one thousand dollars for some a
plate of wings that you could get at September's for
you know, twenty bucks.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It's something. It's the uh. It's the equivalent of buying
a ticket to a charity fundraiser versus buying a table. Hey,
the company bought a table. Well it was the table
that's five grand. How much was the individual ticket twenty
five bucks. It's just for whatever reason, you're going to
the same place, you're eating the same stuff. But the
(06:41):
second the corporation is attached, it changes the calculus considerably.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, Matt, with all this play by play going on,
we like to deliver great sports talk to the people.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Sometimes sports talk a little.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Bit of counter programming. And like I said for the
four hour show, I am ready with a film noir
corners film noir. They'll be too sure.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I'm gonna be as I'm supposed to me. I thought
a reputation might be good business. Is that again?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Petrols Some saying that this is the greatest movie based
in Seattle ever singles. This is not singles, but that
is a good Seattle movie. Scorchy from nineteen seventy six
(07:28):
is it a good movie.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
No, so it's not the best movie.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Well that people, the Seattle people have said that just
because of the scenery around Seattle and the nostalgia that
nineteen seventies Seattle brings to the people of Seattle or
the Sea Tack area, if that makes sense. Okay, And
we got the Mariners with their own world series hopes
thinking about a matchup with the Dodgers after it's all
(07:54):
said and done.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
A West Coast World Series would be sweet.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Great chases in this around the Monorail Mount, Lake Bridge,
Sea Tac Airport, the Kingdome, Scorchy stars Connie Stevens. That's
her singing as a secret undercover DEA agent. She has
(08:22):
her boobs out most of the time in the movie.
She's very promiscuous. In fact, in this film she's mid
copulating with a guy. Like I was in the middle
of my USC story and I was yanked out of
it to talk to Dalton Russian. She's copulating with a
(08:44):
guy while he shot with a spear gun and the
small of his back. Oh, I believe Mark. This was
supposed to be a comeback movie for Connie. It wasn't,
but the scene fans of Seattle in the seventies have
(09:05):
kept this movie a cult classic for many years. It
is also a great display of violence and death. Scorchy
newly available on Amazon and lots of boob now here's Scorchy.
She's very irreverent talking to her her superior at the
(09:26):
police office.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I can trace this stuff to the last connection. It's
taking me two years to get it this far. Come on, Frank,
another two weeks? Is you going to kill us? Is it?
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Come on, Jackie? You've been having the ball of your
life the last two years, back and forth of Europe,
flying Philip and his.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Wife, the jet set screwing.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
You know, Jackie, sometimes I'm not too damn sure that
you remember.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Your a cop?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
She farts.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What I was gonna say?
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Oh I care?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Is I a heroine? You got it?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Get your ass off my desk here, go on, get
some sleep. You look like you know something.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
You're one of the last of the good guys, Frank,
but you need him.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Wow a good.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
You get out of here.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Cheap. You're a fruitcake? You Okay, that is the kind
of dialogue that I show up. I mean right, that
is not what I was anticipating.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Don't forget that you're a cop. And then she farts
on him, and then she calls her a fruitcake bitch
on the way.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
App that was a good fart too. It wasn't like
a step, you know. They kind of gave you a
little muffled. There's some clothes over that thing.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
She's on the desk. He's sitting on the deck right,
gets your ass off my desk. Very apropos for today.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Mid copulation Spear of the Back, farting on the desk
Scorchy nineteen seventy six staring Connie Stevens.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
And if you want to see what a boobs look like,
they are out the nineteen ninety one action movie. For
our second film that had it all, Matt except for success. McBain,
Oh do you remember McBain Not the Simpsons.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
No, I remember McBain, Chris Walkin absolutely, Maria Conchita Alonso,
the black Swoll guy from American Ninja.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
This film has many of the action film tropes that
we all learned. This is a song from the movie,
which is odd. This film has all of the stuff
that we really became accustomed to in the eighties and nineties.
A Vietnam tiger cage pow Mia thing top gun Death
(11:57):
from Above vibes South American revolution against a castro like
comedy figure in Colombia. It's a very intense ride unless
you're from our generation, and then you're very much used
to it and ready for it all.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I feel like it was a cable staple for about
five years. You could find McBain on either Cinemax or
the Movie Channel, one of those two.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
At the beginning of the movie, Christopher Walkin is in
a tiger cage in or like a thunderdome in Vietnam,
and this special group of Vietnam soldiers free him and
some guys and they make a pact and he goes
back to his life as a steel worker in Pittsburgh.
(12:48):
And then one of those guys gets killed trying to
create a revolution in Colombia, and that brings back this
crew of now vigilantes ex Vietnam soldiers, and they try
to overthrow a regime in Colombia with help from Maria
(13:09):
Concito Alonzo. Chris Walkin is McBain. I usually avoid the trailers,
but this trailer is so badass and so reminiscent of
what we used to love and watch when it came
to film, ladies and gentlemen, I present you the trailer
for nineteen ninety one's McBain.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Friendship, Loyalty, Honor Finch, mcbab, mcbab A Time for Heroes.
(14:23):
Christopher Walken, Maria Conchitita Alonso, mcbaby.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Come Yeah, it's like montage versus dialogue, Like, hey, we
don't need any dialogue. It's straight montage voiceover action sequence.
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I would watch that on the plane if I was
the Dodgers headed out to Philly to pump me up.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
McBain.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, it's a good one. We'll be back with more.
Petro Send Money. Ryan's Bill Bargs will join us with

serious exam MLB Radio, Apple TV Friday Night on the

(16:34):
a man of the sport of baseball. A former Rocky

Joining us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline.
(16:56):
It is Ryan Spilboirs also known as Spilly Spilly on
the Petros and Money Show. What's Greging?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Ryan?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
How?
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Every time I get on your program? I have a
bunch of friends that live in in La County that
either went to high school or college at UCSP that
always give me a shout out. So I appreciate coming
on three times a year and high up my buddies
in SOCOU.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
We can work something out, Spilly. I mean, if you
want to work it out, you have more five times. Yeah,
I get the UCSB you know, extension to sponsor it
and really get going here. But were you? A lot
of these wild card matchups are a struggle, but the
Dodgers seem to have their way with the Cincinnati Reds.
(17:41):
Is that just more to do with the matchup or
more to do with the Dodgers flipping a switch for
the postseason.
Speaker 8 (17:48):
I think it's a couple of things. So there's been
a lot more parody in baseball last couple of years.
This wild card you know, format is actually pretty sweet.
I love it about it. I think, you know, when
he saw the very first year you had teams that
were on the buy and they all got knocked out.
(18:08):
Everybody was like, oh my god, it's it's it's off.
You know, you lose momentum for a baseball season. I'm like,
save it, guys, Like, just get it was the first year,
and what we see now, this is the year four
of the format. Two out of three World Series winners
have had the buy. So the buy actually benefits the
teams that can reload and put themselves in a position
(18:30):
to win. Now. Do I believe in momentum one hundred percent.
I do, But I also believe in in strength the
bullpen and making sure you have a fully loaded team.
So what I've seen from the Dodgers in the last
three weeks, I mean, you're starting to get full health.
You know, see Max Muntsey key k back. I love
the story of Mookie Bets. Like in August, after watching Mookie,
(18:52):
you know, just seeing the numbers, I was like, this
is the first time in his career that MOOKI wasn't
going to be an eight hundred ops player. And I suggested,
you know, like when he was a sub seven hundred ops.
I was like, man, he's playing such a great defense
at short. We know the guy lost fifteen pounds before
the start of the season, didn't go on the IL,
and then played this year, and of course I think
(19:14):
physically that had some impact on him. And I just
suggest I was like, you need to figure out ways
to load up the lineup so you can get Moro
Tani with guys on base. And I was like, dude,
you should just move Mooki down to the ninth spot
for a little bit to give him a breather and
you know, let him catch up, give him a little space.
And the Dodgers clearly they didn't do that, and I
(19:36):
heard the story about how Mooky and.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Dave they did.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
They were like, hey, stop worrying about trying to catch
your numbers for this year. Just go out and have fun.
And I think what we've seen from Muki basically since
like mid August to today is Looky's having fun, Mooky's
swings locked in. And I think that all benefits to
how the Dodgers are playing it because when you have
show Hey, Mooki and Freddy with the Cassie characters, because
(20:01):
the bottom of the lineup for a while was really bad.
The Dodgers are in a great spot right now with
health playing well, some momentum to kind of go on
a nice little run.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Right here, Spilly. We were talking about this a little
bit earlier, and it's probably fan stuff, but watching Roki
Sasaki last night was just such an exhale trying to
figure out the Phillies are good. If it's the Brewers
or the Cubs or the Padres, they're good. The World Series,
someone will be good, Like who the hell is going
(20:33):
to get the last three outs? And just not only
getting the last three outs, but the manner in which
he got them. It just felt like a huge exhale, like, Okay,
you can figure out the rest of it, but if
that's what it's going to look like, man, do you
feel a lot better about this team than you did
prior to seeing that? Is that prisoner of the moment
or is there possibly something to that.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
I'm gonna say prisoner of the moment, just because I
think he got a couple of things here. The game,
the magnitude, it was at Dodger Stadium, it was up,
you know, a couple of runs there. It's great to
see it and there's no question that like seeing his
stuff the way that it was working. You know, we
talked about this today on radio. You know, it's a
(21:19):
thirteen mile an hour separator between his fastball and the
split finger, and the split finger has one of the
lowes spin rates in baseball. It's basically a knuckleball. It's
an eighty eight mile hour knuckleball, thirteen miles an hour.
To give you guys like perspective on how much distance
a hitter can cover. The average swing is like seven
point two feet. So when you're talking about thirteen miles
(21:40):
an hour, that's about ten to twelve feet of separation
between the fastball and the splitt and that just means
zero marchin prayer. As a hitter, you have to guess
that's swinging miss stuff. That's lights out stuff, that's like,
you know, good morning, good afternoon, good night, like see
you later. But here's here's why I say it's prisoner moment.
(22:01):
You saw him doing one specific the variables were favorable.
You know, this is in a hostile environment. This isn't
seen you know, the Phillies second time through in the
series with you know, back to backs. I don't know
that Roki can do that. I don't know with some
of the starters that are in the bullpen how that's
gonna work. And I'll ask you you guys this. You
(22:23):
look at the Dodger's bullpen. How many pictures are in
the trust tree? How many pictures when they come out
out of the pen that you're like, hell, yeah, like
that's it out? Count them up? There's eight guys? Robert like, yes,
because you need six. You need six in the postseason
to feel confident that you're going to get out.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
So I guess to try to play the prisoner of
the moment thing. How big of an issue is it?
Do do you feel like they have one? If the
stuff is that good? Or like are we feeling good
about trying after getting that out in a high leverage
situation like because it doesn't seem like if they don't
have it, it's sustainable, not against the lineup of Philadelphia.
(23:06):
So how big of an issue is it? And how
close do you think they might be to getting that
thing figured out?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
If at all?
Speaker 8 (23:14):
I think the problem that you have is that it's
it's still there's still a lot of question marks there.
There's a lot of flags that I mean like do
I trust that's he the most? Probably? I mean, you know,
going down the stretch with Tanner Scott, and you know,
I've covered the Dodgers for so many years and really
we saw them down the stretch with with the Rockies
(23:35):
coming to call, coming to town, Like the regular season
has no impact on what's going to happen in the postseason.
You get hot, you get hot, like it doesn't matter.
But the problem that you have is that you still
have question marks. You know, Dave's not fully sure what
he has, Like are you really going to throw Rookie
Sasaki in the in the bottom of the ninth inning?
(23:58):
You know, fishing Schwarb and Harper, Like, are you really
going to throw them there? Or are you going to
throw Tanner Scott? Are you through alex Vesia? Do you
feel confident with Blake Trenton? Like, like, is emit shean
gonna be a bridge reliever for you? Are you really
gonna use Tyler Glass now out of the bullpen? Or
are you going to keep them back to a starter
(24:19):
now that you're back to a five game series. Like
there's a bunch of questions that I honestly don't have
answers to and I guarantee you if we have Dave
or if we ask Andrew Friedman or Brandeck Gomes, like, Hey,
who do you feel like is aside relievers that use
multiplays in leverage situations, I don't think they're gonna have
a solid interting. I think you might even get multiple answers.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Very interesting stuff from Spilly and a lot of questions,
more questions and answers when it comes to the postseason.
There's no doubt about that. But what is it that
makes the Phillies so formidable Because there's been a lot
of Dodger people that that were what we're trying to
or hinting toward avoiding this matchup?
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Why I feel like they're a little bit of the
team of destiny. Uh this year if they know that
there's any sort of outside of you know, Shore is
a free agent after this year, yoursz is a is
a free agent after this heat.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
You know this team kind of few, you know, in
a way the last dance, last hurrah with this with
this roster guaranteed as it is, and you know you
have players that are feeling that you know, they they
haven't gone to the World Series, They've got you know,
they went a couple of years ago, they've gone backwards.
You know, they've gotten knocked out earlier and earlier in
(25:45):
rounds in the last couple of years, even though the
record overall win record during the regular season has gotten better.
And this would be a huge, huge dragon to sleigh
if the Phillies can knock out the Dodgers. And and
I'm with like, if I'm a Dodgers fan, this is
not the matchup I want. Uh I rather I rather
matchup against the Padres. I rather I rather beat on
them some more. The Phillies just feel as though, you know,
(26:09):
especially with a little bit of an advantage at the gate,
because I don't know what you're gonna get from Otani
or Tony could throw six perfect innings or any can
get knocked out in the third inning and then he
get all the question marks. I just I just feel
like Phillies understand that, you know, they there's just kind
of it for them. You know, the Dodgers got the
World Series last year. Not saying that they're less motivated
(26:31):
by it, but there's a motivation, you know when you're
when you're the guy that's been knocked out to go
out and finally knock out that guy that you're trying
to beat. So I just feel like the Phillies are
right there with maybe a greater sense of urgency, just
because they haven't been able to complete the task in
the last five years.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Last one Spilly you mentioned it there, you said Otani
could go out throw six perfect as someone you know
who played, who's been around great players, percentage of you
that thinks the possibility that we might see the greatest
performance by an athlete in the history of professional sports.
If in fact that's what he does. If he's going
to bang a couple home runs every series and pitch
(27:14):
you know, to wins either once or twice per series,
I would assume that's where this thing's gonna get filed,
that this is the great and they win the World
Series right in likelihood that that's going to happen in
an excitement level, that that's a possibility while we're alive
to see it.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
I don't think Otani has to do anything. This postseason
has changed my mind that he's the greatest player I've
ever seen. I think he's the greatest player in the
history of the game. I don't think there's any really
retort to it. I mean, there's we're talking about. He
leads a leader board in all these offensive categories. He
was the first, you know, MVP that was a DH.
(27:50):
It's like, it's like everything that he does is elite.
He's an elite starter. He started in game one, so
it's not like he's a one trick Tony. Don't need
him to throw six perfect innings and hit two homers
to say that's that's the greatest player I've ever seen.
He could strike out five times and get knocked out
in the first and I'll still tell you you are
never gonna see an Otani. There's never gonna be another
(28:12):
one like it. And I know we try to discredit it,
and we you know that. You know a lot of
people from outside, you know, they talk about Ruth and
Maris and Mays and all the greats in the game.
I'm not taking anything away from any of those guys.
Bonds is still the best atter I've ever seen, but overall,
best player, most dynamic. It's shohey Otani, And I don't
(28:34):
think he has anything to prove to anybody how great
he is.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Well, neither does Spilly nothing to prove. You can hear
him do his tough on the MLB Network Radio of course,
exam and the Apple TV Friday Night Game of the Week.
There's nobody quite like him. In a shout out to
all his boys from Doubt show Country, we appreciate you, Spilly,
(29:02):
and thanks for doing it. Enjoy the rest of the
postseason and we'll see what happens. More questions and answers.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
Hollow boys love talking to you.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yeah, all right, I ain't no hollerback girl. We're hollowback boys.
I guess right, Hey, I suppose so.

long as the Dodgers are alive in the playoffs, So
(30:16):
tune in, Tim Kits Steve Sack says, the Dodgers try
to march their way to the first repeat championship in
the World Series in a quarter century. And it starts
Saturday in the divisional round from Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
And we're still reeling from David Vasse being blown like
the shower and Club Paradise, which is a very obscure
reference but still a very meaningful to many very important
on our show, Dave was blown away. Yeah, Dave, you
(30:55):
want an exclusive? And that is the screaming, unhinged voice
of Blake Trinan, Yeah saying yeah, Dave, you want an exclusive.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
And you wonder why we regularly point out that our
intrepid Dodger reporter David Vesse is the best in the
damn business.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Now, what happened when they clenched the division Clayton Kershaw said,
I barely want pants, Dave.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, he threw his shirt on top of it. They
took his shirt off and threw it at Dave's face,
planted on his head and now driving with the fire
hose of champagne while screaming at him and cackling maniacally.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
To the embedded reporter that covers the team for A
M five to seven e l A Sports and Spectrum Sports, he.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Sounds like the guy Miani and the water boy. It
was like the train's coming through, true, true, and then
the water boys like you just sound like a big
tutu train.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Put him in a body bag, Johnny.
Speaker 10 (32:23):
Yeah, let me walk in like a rooster. Oh that also,
I am stylin seven innings, nine strikeouts, winning Game one.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
Whoa, that's right, snail zilla baby.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I mean, we're dating ourselves with all these references. But
remember that remember that commercial where the guy pulls up
to pick up the other guy for the game, and
the dude like has like a rainbow like painted and
the giant fro and like just dressed up like a
crazy fan doing and he likes like doing a weird
walking dance to the car and the car just takes off.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's like the five Dave had walking in just when
he when he saw a rooster. When he saw it,
he was like, I didn't think it would look like that.
It's like, yeah, that's what it looks like.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
David walk in like a rooster.
Speaker 10 (33:22):
I am styling seven innings, nine strikeouts winning Game one.
Speaker 11 (33:27):
Whoa, that's right, hello el zilla baby exclusively.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I don't know what's gonna happen in Game two and blow.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Off, pulling right off, kicking off of it.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
I really can't. Oh my, thank god, it is time
for his secret Texto sol rodeo around us, secret text us.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Up fine, brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Wow. Dalton Rushing really had some stuff to say. Thank
god you got cut off in your USC analysis so
we could hear him reply with the most generic, middle
of the road answers, just like every other freaking baseball player.
Amazing way to go Kate's and that he does in parentheses,
long fart noise. Now, look, I don't feel that way.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
We're at We are at.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Dodger Stadium to talk to Dodger people. The Dodger people
are on the field. We asked for a catcher. Kate's
has had a real love affair, the real Boner from
Afar with rort Vet, and he couldn't get rot Vet
because they announced that he was catching in the game
and that worked out well obviously for Yamamoto and the Dodgers.
(34:58):
So instead we got Dalton Rushing, who's a young guy.
And you don't learn to do interviews with the Petrosen
Money Show by not doing interviews with the Petrosen Money Show.
So the first couple of times you come on, maybe
you use some platitudes. You're standing down there in front
of the whole media. We understand, and we were able
to get the USC story in as well. Right, So
(35:19):
what are we talking about here?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Who's hurt? Who gets hurt?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Nobody? Apparently that one text OsO guy.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
I can't imagine somebody sitting in the car waiting to
go in their house, like, god, gosh, darn it, finish
the FC story already.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Well, why you don't think people care? People ask me
about USC all the time.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
To go there, Kates. I didn't think it was necessary
to take a shot at the SE story. I've thought
more like he was like, oh cool, adult rushings on.
I can't wait different this Dodger catcher. Try for that
every time.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
I love the fact that they're carrying three of these playoffs.
Tim Kates on sports and at LA tonight, Damn Kates
is working overtime. Yes he is. There is a there's
a real concern that he is going to run out
of gas.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Here happened last year. He ran out of gas. I
would say, right around the NLCS.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
He looked like walking dead. But did we go right
into a weekend? And we didn't have a wild card
last year, so they didn't do the wild card. Remember
this is.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
More it was the Spectrum Sport because you did the
sports Net last year too. Kate's right, And I remember
it was like the second day of that and you
came in for our show and we were like, what
the hell, dude, and you just said, ah, I says
sports Net LA last night, and as he was up
at four and I was, I couldn't take a nap
when I got home, and yeah, it's it's look, Dodgers
(36:38):
keep winning. It's gonna be a real mess for Kates.
But he makes makes his money in a three week window,
you know, and if they're going to give him all
three weeks, let's go get that cash. Believe it.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Half the show better be about Dave getting a champagne
boot cocky. Yes, listen, we've done it. Okay, it just stop.
We went porn free.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
You gotta keep going.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
It's insane. It's it's he's a thirty seven year old.
It's not like it's you know.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
And Dame's fifty.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Right, it's a fifty year old.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
That's why we're the toy department here on Sports Talk Radio.
If there's a shooting, if there's something terrible that happens,
everybody else has got to cover that. We just play
the trying and sound the champagne back screaming at Dave. Yeah,
do you want an exclusive? Yeah, Johnny, get him a
(37:44):
body man. All right, it is time for the next segment.
We will move on and get to another hour or
two of great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Great sports talk.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
